Reasonable cost, cables for true enthusiasts with the sole purpose of improving their system without spending crazy amounts of money, Ricable I found it through Google. Giving me the impression of a serious company and reading the various positive reviews here and there, I decided to buy the amplifier power cord. High-level packaging that already makes it clear that you will find a niche product.
and aesthetics of the product?
Beautiful visual aesthetics...these are beautiful cables to look at, to touch and to feel, as they say the eye wants its part too, for true enthusiasts it becomes a boast to show friends a beautiful cable in their system, attractive aesthetics, very well made connectors with a secure grip. The cables are very large but not scary, they bend well and can be threaded without any problems.
I listen to my system with cable, and I hear the differences before and after, in my opinion there are no analyzers, sophisticated instruments or whatever. They certainly help the system, but the only real tool is one's ear, and when one enjoys listening to one's system, that is the best test.
listening impressions?
Differences audible clearly from the first listen. Wider scene, greater detail, less listening fatigue. The most important point: the low end, which remained present but with more modulation. I have performed tests with classical music, jazz, blues, rock and the listening is always pleasant, there is never fatigue. The silence of the stand-by, no longer corrupted by the annoying buzzing that used to haunt me. All this gives me the impression that I have turned up the volume slightly, but it is just a feeling, the greater effect is that you have a totally new system.
Your conclusions.
I would definitely recommend this brand for many reasons, but the first is the price. Quality cables at reasonable prices without passing out or selling your car to buy cables for your system. And not to mention that they are very Italian cables, which is one more thing to buy them.
What did you enjoy?
- The improvement of audio
- Visual aesthetics and smoothness of the cable
- Really good value for money
